Program Description
Event Details
Debra Rogers has been passionate about art for as long as she can remember- drawing from the moment she could hold a pencil. She earned her first degree in Graphic Art and subsequently studied Fashion Design at the Fashion Institute of Technology. After graduating, she embarked on a successful career as a children's wear designer in New York City, where she worked in the fashion industry for many years.
But beyond fashion, art has always been her compass—an ever-expanding horizon of possibility. She continues to learn from internationally recognized artists, joins voices in global online auctions, and carries with her the impressions of every place she has traveled. Each journey offers a new perspective, a new spark for creation. Debra Rogers discovered a world where lines could sing and colors could breathe.
Debra's paintings are alive in color—vivid, layered, and unrestrained. Working in mixed media, she weaves textiles, textures, and fabric into her compositions, transforming them into poetry on canvas. Her subjects—portraits, landscapes, florals, and animals—emerge not as simple forms but as reflections of joy, energy, and wonder. Debra believes art is a lifelong learning experience-no two artists are the same, and every new encounter brings inspiration.
For her, art is not merely a pursuit but a way of being: breath, rhythm, and reflection. It is the place where curiosity meets creation, where boundaries dissolve, and where imagination is forever free.
Artist's Statement
My art is a creative journey of exploration and creativity. It is an invitation to wander, play, and discover new perspectives. I believe creativity should be alive with joy, never confined by rules. Each brushstroke is laughter, every texture offers a warm embrace, and every color radiates vibrant energy.
I create to explore, letting my emotions guide me. When I paint, I let instinct lead. I do not seek perfection - only connection. If you feel something when you see my work, then I have shared a piece of who I am.
Together, we can celebrate the beautiful gift of art!
